Don't forget you have a good 4 months of breeding before any ovulations usually. I tend to mess with temps a little starting in October pairing off and on till April. I start raising temps end of February thru the second week of March. Some of my ball pythons will stop eating this time of year anyway so I just offer, if they don't eat, they don't eat till the next week when I offer. Just saying what I do when breeding. Usually cycling the ones not breeding doesn't effect them too much it just cheapens the feed bill, lol.
